Markets traders, motorists among victims of Tanjung Karang floods

Repair works being carried out on the collapsed bund on Sungai Tengi in Jalan Kilang Padi, Tanjung Karang.

IT WAS business interrupted for traders at the Tanjong Karang morning market who had no choice but to repack their stalls as flood waters started to rise in Pekan Tanjung Karang, Selangor, after Sungai Tengi burst its banks at around 7am on Tuesday (Oct 11).

Not as lucky were shop owners at the wet market. Many of them did not have time to move their perishable items to higher shelves to avoid the flood waters that had risen up to knee level in that area.
